Last month, Procter & Gamble launched their first ever global campaign, “Thank You Mom.” The marketing plan includes the ‘Best Job’ commercial created by Wieden & Kennedy Portland, which features support and inspirational mothers on four continents raising their children to compete in Olympics. The campaign ties the commercial into TV, digital, mobile and social media.

The video currently has over 2.2 million views on YouTube and has been shared on Facebook over 1.2 million times. P&G created a Facebook page devoted to “Thank You Mom,” which has half a million fans so far. The page has incorporated a tab for people to publicly thank their own mothers. The campaign also features a “Thank You Mom” app where people can thank their moms by uploading personalized content (video, images, or text message) and then encourage friends and family to do the same.

The important thing to note about the campaign is that P&G is not pushing products through an offer or product display. Instead, P&G is sparking conversations with consumers to build brand relationships. P&G stated earlier this year that the brand plans to shift focus from products to people to build a community around the brand and the “Thank You Mom” campaign is their first step towards accomplishing this goal.
